UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

GILLETT BUNTING, OF LIBERTY, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO I'IIMSELF AND W. M..IARRELL, OF SAME PLACE.

CHURNDASHER.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 26,226, dated November 22, 1859.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GILLETT BUNTING, of Liberty, in the county of Unionanfl State of Infliana, have inventefl a new anfl useful Improvement inChurn-Dashers; anfl I do hereby fleclare that the following is a fullanfl clear description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings anfl to the letters of reference marked thereon and mafle toform a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention relates to the construction arrangement anfloperation of an oscillating churn flasher described specified anflrepresented as follows.

In reference to the accompanying drawings, Figure l, is, a verticalsectional view of the dasher, showing' the manner of its operation.Figs. 2 anfl 3, are side views of the dasher showing the manner of itsconstruction.

(A) represents the shell of a churn within which the dasher may bearranged.

(F) is the shaft of the flasher, formed with journals (F which havebearings in adjustable slifle pieces shown clearly in, Fig. l. Theseslide pieces are adjustable vertically by means of the perforations andset screws by means of which the flasher may be adjusted to the quantityof cream to be churned; passing at right angles through the shaft (F)are arms (e), (g), provided with buckets (e) anfl (g); anfl, alsopassing through the shaft (F) between, anfl parallel with the arms (e)is a central bar (E), one end of which is attachefl to the bucket (e)and the other end pivoted to the rofl (D) as shown in, Fig.L-permanently secured to the bottom of the churn shell (A) is thestationary, bucket (K) which serves to secure the lower ends of theslides (f) and also to rupture the current of cream as it is mafle topass along the bottom of the churn, anfl thereby facilitate the processof churning.

is a driving cog wheelwhich isv arranged to Work into the cog wheel (It)which is keyed to the crank shaft (C).

(7c) is a balance wheel arrangefl upon the shaft (B) is a frame uponwhich the wheels (G) and (z.) are arranged. The rofl (D) is arrangeflupon the crank (C) of the crank shaft (C), so that as the wheel (G) ismafle to rotate, by means of crank (I-I) the shaft' will be mafle torotate through the meflium of wheel (z.) thereby operating the crank (C)anfl rofl (D) in such manner as to give oscillating motion to theflasher as clearly shown by the refl lines in, Fig. l; the rapidoscillating motion thus imparted to the flasher, through the meflium ofbuckets (6 g, K) forces the cream into violent opposing currents, at thesame time, the concussive action of the buckets (e, g) and arms (e, g)and bar (E) upon the cream is fully developed, thereby producing, arapid anfl violent agitation of the cream, which ruptures its globulesor particles, anfl conduces to a speedy completion of the process ofchurning. The shell (A) of the churn may be placed upon the bed A),within the guifles (L), in such manner, as to be removed anfl replacedat pleasure.

I do not claim the use of the hinged churn-flashers, whether hinged tothe bottom or any fixed part of the churn, to give an oscillatingmovement within the cream. Nor do I claim oscillating movement inchurn-flashers, as these devices are already known; but

)Vhat I do claim as my invention anfl desire to secure by Letters Patentis,

Producing the vibrating movement in `the cylindrical churn flasher bymeans of the combination of said arms with the crank iotion of thedriving wheel anfl intermediate connecting rofl when these are used incombination with the current breaker K, as set forth.

In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hanfl.

GILLETT BUNTING.
